Hi Rachel. As an “engine room” geek I have always valued the contribution that design skills can make to my web projects (which would otherwise be dull and lifeless, much like this question). How can I work more effectively with designers and help them to increase the value they add to my projects (which I know is what good designers want to do, and I don’t want to work with bad designers)?
Follow-up question (if time): how do I, as someone with little design knowledge, tell the good designers from the bad ones?
